MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The West Africa Regional Bloc, ECOWAS, has lifted all sanctions against Guinea and individuals who were involved in the transitional process with immediate effect.

ECOWAS also reintegrated Guinea in all of its decision-making organs and regional integration activities.

In a communique issued on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, ECOWAS said its decision is due to Guinea’s return to constitutional order after electing a civilian government through democratic means.

The Regional Bloc encouraged the Government of Guinea to leverage the restoration of constitutional order to intensify national dialogue among stakeholders.

ECOWAS further urged the Guinean Government to intensify efforts aimed at consolidating democracy, good governance, and the rule of law, as well as economic and social development.

Meanwhile, ECOWAS member states, the African Union, the UN, and all international partners have been encouraged to continue their support towards stabilization, consolidation of democracy, and sustainable development.
